His-OVA
ThisThe chicken ovalbumin sequence obtained from KEGG database (Gallus gallus) was codon optimzed for expression in E. coli and synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. with a connection of a His tag and a GS linker at N-terminus. The ovalbumin (OVA) is a glycoprotein, which is a major component of chicken egg whites, and harbors immunogenic properties in vaccination experiments[1]. The recombinant OVA protein is readily purified in E. coli BL21 system driven by T7 promoter and triggered by IPTG induction.
Characterization
T7 bacteriophage genome was edited with the BioBrick of T7P-g10.RBS-His-Ova-T7T (Part:BBa K4150006)in the end of T7 gene 10 using the T7Select® 415-1 Cloning Kit (Merck Millipore) according to the manufacturer’s instruction.
ThisTo test the Ova protein expression by the engineered phage, the isolated BALB/c mouse intestinal commensal E. coli were grown to an OD of 0.6 and infected with T7 phage::T7P-g10.RBS-His-Ova-T7T at a MOI of 5 for 2 hr at 37°C. The bacterial lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining. The gel clearly showed a sharp band at the predicted size of a purified chicken ovalbumin protein (~45 kDa) compared to the lysates of E. coli infected with wild-type T7 phages (Fig. 9A).
ThisTo quantify the protein concentration produced by the engineered phage carrying Ova gene, 5 x 108 cells of the isolated E. coli (OD600 = ~0.6) were infected with 2.5 x 109 phages (MOI = 5) for 2 hr at 37°C. The 50 μl of lysates along with a serial dilution of standard of purified ovalbumin proteins were subjected to an ELISA Kit for Ovalbumin (CLOUD-CLONE CORP., Product No. CEB459Ge) and performed according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The data were measured at OD450 nm and determined by regression analysis due to the assay is based on the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. As shown in the Fig. 9B, the concentration of Ova proteins produced in the E. coli infected with T7 phage::Ova were ~154 ng/ml (OD450 = ~0.89).
ThisTaken together, we successfully created and improved BioBrick parts, as well as engineered T7 phages, which are able to transfer genes (i.e., GFP and Ovalbumin) into mouse intestinal E. coli and produce proteins of interest by the infected E. coli.
